Pojo's FMA Card of the Day
|
Crenshinibon
|
Zolf J. Kimbley,
Mercenary:
Kimbley is this year's Veteran Alchemists, and
he's pretty darn good.
Maybe not Veteran Alchemists good, but very
good.
Quick Wits is a very powerful add on to have in
both Military and Homunculus decks. In addition,
sacrificing small, starting allies isn't a huge
detriment, especially if it's only a bluebird.
He has fairly high stats, and "Soldier"
plastered right on as well, making for yet
another bonus thanks to Hakuro. Additionally, he
gets around Roy Mustang, Administrator, which is
another place he can fit in. He's just a big,
nifty ally. NOt amazing, not bad.
Ratings:
Constructed: 3.75/5
(No limited rating). |

Zolf J Kimbley,
Mercenary
8 Cost Unaligned
Human-Soldier-State Alchemist
4/6/5
Zolf J Kimbely's cost cannot be modified.
Quick Wits: 2
Battle Wits Sacrafice an ally: Zolf J. Kimbley
gets +2 to each attribute.
I like this Kimbley, alot. He can be dropped by
any 8 command leader, he has some nice stats,
and he has 2 built in pumps. Pumps took awhile
to be a selling point for me, but about the time
of AG I started getting into them.
Two decks make good work of him to me, Military
and Rebel. Military tends to run the Quick Wits
events and also having a few small allies to
kill for his 2nd ability. Rebel tends to have
the small allies to use his 2nd ability. His
Wits can also help when you don't want to throw
around your Bitter Memories/Test of
Might/Militia/Raw Firepower/Etc for a turn, at a
matching location.
Ratings:
Constructed 3.5/5- Hes pretty good, some decent
stats paired with two built in pumps your deck
can prepare for is always great.
Sealed- If you have some means of pulling him
awesome, both effects are great here. You have
weenie allies for lack of a choice of things to
play, and alot of events are pointless. |

The “Steel
Talon Alchemist” |
Today we have
Zolf J. Kimbly: Mercenary
An 8 cost
ally with a respectable set of stats, 4
strength, 6 wits and 5 alchemy. Quick wits 2
gives the card the edge to make it playable in
some great decks. His cost cannot be modified
which is a fine static ability since he is
deserving of that 8 cost and would be too
powerful if you could lower it. Finally
mimicking his personality in the show he has the
ability to sacrifice allies to pump his
attributes by 2.
That’s enough
to make most people want to use it, what makes
this even better is that Mercenary is not a
villain. So you’ll be able to add this card as a
wonderful level 2 or 3 drop to just about any
deck. Add a splash of alchemy to your Sin decks,
pump some more wits into an Elric deck.
Final Score
Constructed:
4.5/5
This card
simply rocks when used correctly. Even when used
in mediocre decks it could pump the power level
up a ton.
Limited: NA
The "Steel
Talon" Alchemist

Today's card is
Zolf J. Kimbly Mercenary. This Kimbly has the
unique distinction of being unaligned meaning he
can go into any type of deck. At 6 wits and 5
alchemy he fits fairly well into a deck focusing
on either of those attributes. He also has a
Quick Wits of 2 helping him further pump his
attributes and in addition in a pinch he can
sacrifice an ally to give him an additional plus
2 as well.
His passive ability is very interesting as well
which is his cost can't be modified. While this
does hurt his playability in say a Pride 7
command deck (although you'd probably use Master
of Destruction for that anyways) a perfect deck
that he fits into is Roy Mustang, Administrator
since he gets around Roy's effect and is a
solider to boot.
But does he fit into every deck? Elric I can see
using him for his decent 5 alchemy, but they may
want to stick soley to Elric allies for all the
various Elric only events. Homonculus I can see
using him, though Lunatic Prisoner is not a bad
alternative since it is a villian as well.
Rebel's could like him in a mob deck as they can
bring back mobs with Claire Nurse and use them
for Kimbly's ability, though his 4 strength is
already pretty lacking in your typical Rebel
deck. The deck that probably gets the most use
out of him is Military since he's not a villian
he can go into Hughes, Liza and Friend of the
Fallen, Roy. And can fight fairly well triple
threat which Military is known for.
Constructed: 3/5-Just because he can go in every
deck does not mean he should, but Military Hero
leaders should like this card.
